you were a kid that returned to Joyville after everything went bad

the place was all scary now instead of the welcoming children's wonderland it used to be

you got into an altercation with one of the mascots, and after a dance battle, he ended up chasing you

you darted into a small-ish room, there wasn't much inside

He was looking for you.

the words "DANCE, PUPPET, DANCE" written in red on the wall

you heard a noise above you, and then you heard

"play with me... play with me~ forever~"

He giggles
